It won't show up because it is not formatted. You need to boot from another device in order to format the new drive. If your computer supports Internet Recovery, then you can do the following:
Internet/Network Recovery of El Capitan or Later on a Clean Disk
If possible back up your files before proceeding.
This should install the version of macOS that was pre-installed when it was factory new.
